WWD’s week in quotes, culled from stories that ran the week of January 13 to January 17.

• “The beauty of the fashion industry is there’s not one way to run your business. Everyone can be successful and have different platforms and ideologies. We have a strong design philosophy and a sandbox and aesthetic we play in and also a strong culture in our company. The customer connects with us through the clothing. The clothes are the star of what we do.” — Andrew Rosen, chief executive officer, Theory at the Financo Forum.

• “Prabal [Gurung] sent this dress to my stylist Petra Flannery with a note that said he was thinking of me when he designed it. When you hear that, it’s a rocker writing you a love song. You have to wear it.” — Zoe Saldana on her Golden Globes dress.

• “Every time I see a newly public company do so well, the idea does tantalize me.” — Giorgio Armani

• “Breaches are inevitable. We overshare. Big data is everywhere. The more information that’s collected, the more vulnerable we really are.” — Adam Levin, IdentityTheft911.com

• “Within 10 to 15 years, the typical US mall, unless completely reinvented, will be seen as an historical anachronism, a 60-year-or-so aberration. It has outlived its uselfullness.” — Rick Caruso, Caruso Affiliated

• “I don’t think I’ve seen such a disruptive time than I have seen now in retail. There are some worrying signs that some ceo’s haven’t taken on the magnitude of the changes.” — Hamish Brewer, JDA software.
